Well, good.

1. Their standards are just so high!

[riversedge]

8. Reminder: Everyone bailing on Milo today was OK with his racism, misogyny, abuse, and transphobia.

She is right!! Remember how the RW dissed Stanford for cancelling his speaking engagement-yelling Freedom of speech over and over!!

13. I know! Why aren't they OK with ALL his free speech, when

Free speech is just so precious to them!

[herding cats]

2. Good - Dogs, fleas, and all that. nt

[Alice11111]

36. Good. He represents the entire basket of Deplorables.and more toxic characteristics

Free speech...ok, but who would buy his book now. They publish to sell.
Only the really sick advocate for the sex abuse of children.

[Ligyron]

3. I've heard of, but never seen this guy until Bill's show.

Does he always wear that much bling? Is he confused sexually or what? In denial?

[csziggy]

19. Most of the photos I found online showed him in a suit

Or a tailored shirt. A few showed him in more casual attire, and a very, very few showed him with bling.

I think he is dressing up to play a gay the way O'Keefe dressed up to play a pimp.

[Ligyron]

47. Well, that's what I thought on Bill's show with the pearls and sweater.

I knew he was being ridiculous but then I saw this picture here and I'm like hmmmm.

The guys really does have a great aristocratic, intellectual-type Brit speaking voice until one hears the crap he's spewing. I can see why he's popular with the RW in trying to give their fascism a little class.

[SunSeeker]

4. Good. nt

[Johnny2X2X]

5. Breitbart Editor

This guy has a direct line into the White House, don't let that fact get lost.

[erronis]

11. So did Gannon. Lots of sucking up to power going on.

From the Righteous Old Potty.

[Kimchijeon]

6. What a wonderful day! Great news. Ha!

Much deserved and long overdue comeuppance for this asshole troll.
It's good to expose roaches to the light, so we can exterminate 'em.

[yallerdawg]

7. Shine a little light and he goes away.

Maybe Bill Maher has a valid point.

10. Wonder if he gets to keep his $250k advance in this situation - eom

[cstanleytech]

23. Probably depends entirely on what his contract that he signed says.

If it has a moral clause then he probably would have to return it but if it doesnt then he might get to keep it since the publisher is the one that decided to back out of the deal.

[Leghorn21]

26. Guess the lawyers will cipher it out, eh? - thanks! eom

[Leghorn21]

29. Just fyi info...so if S&S DO have to let M. keep advance, they're out a nice chunk of change - plus

looks like they'll have to repay beaucoup people who pre-ordered on Amazon...and the Chicago Review of Books is done with any books from S&S...plus their reputation as a fine publishing house is, oh, kinda down the toilet...

Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos claims lucrative deal struck for autobiography
 Read more

Yiannopoulos writes for Breitbart News, considered by many as a platform for the “alt-right” movement, an offshoot of conservatism that mixes racism and populism and has risen to prominence alongside the rise to the presidency of Donald Trump. Former Brietbart chief executive Steve Bannon is a close adviser to the president-elect.

Snip (yes - $250k advance)

The Chicago Review of Books announced on Twitter that it would not review any Simon & Schuster books next year because of the publisher’s “disgusting validation of hate”.

In an emailed statement, it said that 15 of the more than 300 books it wrote about last year were Simon & Schuster imprint books. In their place, the Chicago Review of Books said it would choose 15 books from independent and small publishers.

While many others inside and outside the publishing industry criticized Simon & Schuster publicly, the book, which is available for pre-order, soared to No 1 on Amazon.com’s bestseller list on Friday.

[cstanleytech]

32. My guess is he will self publish it and end up still making a ton as there are alot of

people who are still willing to swill down his shit.

[Leghorn21]

33. Agreed, cstanley - lord knows, the market awaits his sage musings - eom

[PoliticAverse]

37. "If it has a moral clause" - Somehow I can't see them getting him to return the money...

because he made an outrageously offensive statement when his making outrageously offensive statements
was why they were publishing him in the first place.

[cstanleytech]

39. *shrug* I would never put it past a publisher to not have such a clause to be honest as

you never know what someone might say that might push it over the edge to get the public to suddenly despise them and without that clause the publisher could be on the hook to loose a ton of money.

[Tanuki]

12. I wonder if he has already received an advance payment.

If so, would he be required to pay it back?

[PoliticAverse]

35. Yes, it was reported to be $250,000 and assuming he delivered a manuscript he likely keeps it. n/t

[tenderfoot]

14. He has the sadz...

[Pachamama]

15. To those who were angry that he was a guest on Bill Maher because it gave him attention, I believe

...that appearance and being "seen" and getting more attention, resulted in the information and videos and audio dug up about things he has said, are what resulted in his CPAC appearance and book being canceled.

I believe that is a positive thing. And I fully believe it is a good thing to expose these people.

[MissKat]

21. I totally agree

Had Bill not had him on would the "buzz" have fired up?

Because that buzz made someone start digging and it doesn't seem that they had to dig too far.



This is perfect. He's done. Cooked. Toast. The shark has been jumped, humped, and dumped.

Like Mama used to tell me, "Time wounds all heels."

And Milo is getting ground into the dirt by his own filthy mouth.

[cstanleytech]

24. I wouldnt put money on that.

People said the same thing about Mel Gibson and he seems to be making a comeback.

[not fooled]

43. But Mel had talent and a long career of being in successful movies

Not citing that as an excuse for his behavior, but instead as reason that eventually he would receive some redemption.

Milo doesn't have a track record except being a recent incarnation of Ann Coulter.

[cstanleytech]

46. I am simply pointing out that he could survive this, other celebrities have survived

scandals like Michael Jackson and so could Milo.
Or to put it another way a forest fire isnt out until all that is left are cold dead embers but as long as some embers remain burning there is still a chance it could come back.

[JI7]

57. difference is that Milo's fame is ONLY about the hateful shit he does

[cstanleytech]

58. Ya well there are clearly people that liked his swill so it wouldnt surprise me if they kept right

on buying it.
After all we are talking about people who applaud things like torture, forcing a raped teen to have a baby against her will and other assorted bigoted acts.

[brewens]

52. I see no reason to believe they didn't know already, the information was available. Breitbart is

supposed to be a news organization and the all knowing SCROTUS certainly had the best intel on him. Nope. Don't let the perverts throw their little hero under the bus just because they are upset they got caught! They own it! Breitbart=Alt-Right=NAMBLA!

[Gothmog]

16. Yeah

[riversedge]

17. proves there is a line. And racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism didn't cross it.

true, Most were ok with these isms B/4 the video came to light.


Jill Filipovic ‏@JillFilipovic 3m3 minutes ago

I'm glad ppl draw the line at joking about raping boys. But it proves there is a line. And racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism didn't cross it.

[msanthrope]

18. It's the Edwin Edwards school of political thought. nt

[Mr.Bill]

20. Intellectual lightweight who appeals to the ignorant masses.

Which coincidentally, also describes 45.

[Iggo]

22. Freedom of speech, Milo. Ain't it beautiful?

[BadgerMom]

25. Geez!

A bit late but, good.

[Warpy]

27. I don't care if these fucking hypocrites were OK with his constant bashing of everybody

in an atttmept to make them feel as lousy as he does. I don't care that the only reason they're dumping him is that he stepped over that pedo line and threatened precious white boys.

I do care that everybody seems to be dumping his ass and that the age of, what, 27? his career as a professional conservative is over.

Maybe someone in the UK will teach him a trade.

[m-lekktor]

28. Daaamn, it was number 1 with pre-orders on Amazon at one point!

I am glad, I guess money doesn't always trump everything else.

[irisblue]

30. it came with a box of cheap crayons for the breitbart crowd

[m-lekktor]

31. I am curious to see if anybody sticks up for him from the alt-right.

and if so, what reasoning they will use!

[meadowlander]

60. That's because the Koch brothers

order thousands of copies to burn so that it gets visibility at the top of the list.

[Initech]

34. Excellent! Now if the rest of Breitbart would go down in flames!

[Fast Walker 52]

38. couldn't happen to a nice guy...

I mean to a bigger asshole.

[QED]

40. Sad

[MrPurple]

41. Bill Maher might have helped end his career

The timing could be a coincidence, but a day after Milo really looked weak & foolish on the Maher show, the previous clip of him advocating 13 on 28 year old sex went viral and he was disinvited from CPAC and had his Amazon#1 ordered book canceled.

Maher exposing this fungus to the light of day is looking like a really good move.

[mdbl]

42. He was just an opportunist using conservative ignorance to his advantage

I guess they finally noticed.

[not fooled]

45. One down

1,000,000 to go--

Rush, the entire Faux news org, all the RW hate talkers, etc. etc. etc.

It's a start!

[msanthrope]

48. Maher apologia is disgusting. nt

[MrPurple]

49. I've watched him pretty regularly since he was on Comedy Central in the mid 90s

He made a couple comments in the interview with Milo that I didn't like, but they're not typical of what he's said over a long period of time. I don't think I've ever heard him say anything else that could be interpreted as trans phobic.

[demtenjeep]

59. and so many hated Bill

thought he handled him great.

[plimsoll]

44. Not exactly a silver lining.

Lest we get all happy we need to keep in mind what the Alt-Right (cough Fascists cough) and the movement conservatives will say:
1) He wasn’t really one of us.
2) We were right homosexuals are all predatory pedophiles.
3) We were right homosexuals are doing it because they want to be “naughty.”
Losing the book deal may hurt him personally, but in the end he’ll manage to cause damage while he’s flushing himself.

I’m sure there’s they can build some conspiracy out of this anyway. “He was fooled by liberals into saying these things.”

I just love the party of responsibility.

[Dopers_Greed]

50. Poor, special snowflake

[Doodley]

51. Maybe he can republish under the pseudonym of Meredith McIver!

[kiers]

53. Similar to Milo, Breitbart London branch has exact same strategy for staffing

These two follow near similar scripts in using their personal demographics as agent provocateurs to keep the outrageous statements and public opinion boiling along....nearly exactly similar media strategy grounded in personal demographics:
